Error message

How to fix this error?

For incorrect entries which already exist, it is unfortunately not
possible to change the account interval for these entries directly,
since the "To account" field is a key field and therefore cannot be
changed for existing entries. You can use the following procedure to
correct these entries.
1) Selecting the incorrect entries
"Choose -> By content" function. The specification must be as follows:
"From account" = " "
AND "To account" = " "
AND "Account type (K) <> "+".
You now get a list of entries which are not valid.
2) Copying the incorrect entries
Select all the entries on this list and select the "Copy as" function.
Now specify the account interval for each entry.
Note: If the account interval is across all accounts, then you enter
the following for the interval limits:
"From account" = " "
"To account" = "ZZZZZZZZZZ"
3) Deleting the incorrect entries
After copying, you come back to the list of all the entries. Select the
incorrect entries again by means of the selection under 1) and delete
these from the maintenance.
